    "Addictive"

    The game of thrones has nothing on Outlander. I love it! I highly recommend this book.

    "Not for me..."

    Probably geared towards women. And, at that, a bit abusive for both men and women in many respects. Just not what I thought it was.

    "Not 'Romance' At All"
    What could Diana Gabaldon have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?

    I loved the historical details and I even really liked Claire as a main character, but I just couldn't get past all of the sexual violence and rape masquerading as "love" or attraction. Claire and Jamie are supposed to be "opposites attract" types who fall for each other despite long odds and fraught circumstances, but then once they're together things quickly devolve from sexy tension to downright abuse. I just couldn't listen to descriptions of Jaime raping Claire and then five minutes later hear her reasoning that she deserved it or that it's totally normal and fine. Ruined the whole book for me.

    "Good"

    Some of the serial part was too descriptive. I prefer clean books. Good story line. The audio portion cut out a lot.

    "Skipping"

    It appears that the books is skipping. I am listening to chapter 36 and it was announced as chapter 34. Missing pieces like when Jamie and Ian left to meet the watch. Skipped from Jenny having baby to Ian coming back.

    "Loved it!"

    Saw the tv series on Amazon, couldn't wait for volume 2 so came here to find out what happened after Jaime rescued Clair from Randal-- pointing a pistol at him crouching through a window. I'm hooked!!!! Best way to clean house and walk off extra weight. I was Thoroughly intrenched in the story-- looking for another surface to clean or another mile to walk just to get through the next suspenseful utterly thrilling scenario. I really love audio books. I think I could pull off a very convincing Scottish accent at this point. Seven more books to go, my house is going to be so clean and I'll be skinny again๐Ÿ˜€๐Ÿ˜

    Story
    "Very enjoyable, simply too long."

    Not the type of book I usually read, even without the going back in time aspect. It FELT like a page-turner and has all the elements of one. But often there were too many pages, too many minute details (of exaltation, everyday life, and horror), before we could FINALLY get to the next page. Great narration!
